As a labor economist, here's my read on the current conditions in the labor market: The labor market is in balance. It has slowed from its frothy levels of previous years but remains healthy and we must ensure that health is sustained and protected. In my mind, additional slowing in the labor market would be an unwelcome sign. I spoke with Reuters about the labor market and how I see the economy evolving. Read more here: https://lnkd.in/gMFNP3km

Get Ready for Today's Jobs Report! It’s not just about jobs—it’s like a sneak peek into which industries are growing and which aren’t. If you're in staffing, recruiting, or HR tech, this info can help you be the expert your clients need! Here's What You Need to Know: The Fed (kind of like the boss of all banks) is thinking about cutting interest rates in mid-September because they want to help keep prices under control. Most people think they’ll cut rates by a small amount, but if today’s job report shows fewer jobs, they might cut even more to help the economy. In July, job openings hit the lowest level in over three years. This could mean a bigger rate cut to keep things balanced. Some experts say the job market is still strong, with people finding work and wages growing faster than prices. The Fed's goal? Get prices down without hurting the economy too much—keeping things steady is key! 📈 Knowing this can help you understand what might happen next and guide your clients better. Stay ahead and use these insights to make smart moves!

Striving to maintain a 2% inflation target, the US raises interest rates, yet unintended consequences emerge. With an uptick in Initial Jobless Claims by 2.34%, the delicate balance between inflation control and employment stability comes to the forefront. The current economic situation can be viewed as a chance for the United States to give more attention to keeping its employees. #economy #growth #workforce #consulting Visit sentadellassociates.com for more insights and our take on global events.

Client Success Executive for ADP's National Accounts| Driving client satisfaction by delivering a seamless strategic HCM experience and partnership.
The ADP Research Institute recently examined the payroll records of private, hourly, non-farm workers and found that between December 2019 and December 2023, the median number of hours worked fell from 38.4 to 37.7 a week, a decline of almost two percent. This trend is significant as labor inputs to the economy depend not only on the number of people employed but also on how much time those people devote to their jobs. The pandemic has affected the labor market, including hours worked. While opportunities in the gig economy offered workers the promise of flexibility, historically high post-pandemic pay gains in some sectors allowed people to put in fewer hours without sacrificing income. Employers also made changes, with some opting to cut hours rather than reduce employee headcount. Regulations governing overtime pay and employee benefits can factor into these decisions. Therefore, it's important to note that the labor market has changed in ways that can't be told by the unemployment rate alone. Despite the solid post-pandemic job recovery, there has been a rise in part-time labor and a decline in median hours worked. In December 2019, part-time jobs accounted for 43 percent of all hourly jobs; by December 2023, they accounted for 47 percent.
New research from the ADP Research Institute® shows that while the unemployment rate is near record lows, people might be working fewer hours each week. Swipe through the carousel to learn more about these findings. For more insights on this research, visit: https://bit.ly/3PgPvry

The US economic momentum has eased, but the data is consistent with a soft-landing. The labour market is gradually cooling, though monthly nonfarm payroll continue to defy expectations. However, the broader employment data and survey evidence suggest the Federal Reserve (Fed) is on the right track. Analysts predict a further decline in job openings is more likely to translate into actual job cuts, pushing the unemployment rate higher. This should lead to lower wage growth and a further easing in price pressures. Click below to read our views. #GlobalEconomy #MacroOutlook #Q3 #Growth #WealthManagement
